If the allegations are true, and it looks like they are, this itself is a hate crime, against our society.
That is extreme; it isn't like Jussie got the idea from a vacuum (if true): people have been falsely accused of much worse, with much less sympathy from the people. My female cousin can claim she got raped by a black man in America without people questioning her because the precedent has been set, and sustained.
It is definitely a crime, and egregious action.
It bred more racial animosity and distrust into a society that cannot afford it. And it is not victimless. The bitterness will come out one way and/or the other.
Racism has been birthed, bred and nourished in the States since its foundation. The animosity continues to exist because America as a nation fails to take the opportunities afforded to them to address and heal the racism itself. It is always ignored until an event happens such that the entirety of the racial weight can be placed upon "that thing". That isn't healing or dealing with problems; that is
deflection of the problems.
People who are hyphenated, second-rate citizens of the nation for which they pay taxes
should be bitter - they have the right to be. However, it is not often they are the bitter ones.
This Smollett guy is a friend of Kamala Harris. She is running for president. She also has introduced "anti-lynching" legislation in the Senate. As soon as the alleged attack broke news, Harris put out a statement about it being a "modern-day lynching". Was this a coordinated effort by them to get the legislation passed on sheer momentum and to advance the perception of Harris' leadership? Why did Smollett resist giving his phone to the authorities?
Do you know the joke is on you if you think that Republicans and Democrats actually oppose each other? Why even take bait of attaching this to a political facet?
You do know Jussie is gay; before it came out that there were holes, people were already calling it fake (for very sinister reasons the rules cannot allow me to post). Jussie is also a
young, gay man. It isn't hard to understand why a gay celebrity male wouldn't want his phone to be in the hands of Chicago P.D. Chicago P.D. rivals the LAPD and NYPD in corruption - nothing uncommon considering it is the 3th largest city by population.
Conjecture at this point, but the number of false hate crimes against minorities in recent years is very large indeed, and each time a complicit Big Media runs with the ball for maximum yardage, and it seems they increasingly care less about facts.
The number of false hate crimes against minorities
since they have been allowed to exist in public has been very large. Racism wasn't 10,000 years ago, it is still around today. In the 50s and 60s, black were getting hosed down and attacked by dogs in the streets. That means the "kids'"
grandparents, and parents were alive during this time. Those parents taught their kids the same tactics of feigning ignorance, and denial until one cant deny anymore.
In 2001, blacks got a relief from their derision when the new bogeyman became
Muslims, and anything that looks like them.
You think this is a bad thing because of politics - i.e. because it makes dems and their followers look bad? I hope not, because unfortunately you miss why this is all bad. It isn't about politics at all.
I'm glad that in the case of the Catholic pro-life kids, they have a lawyer that is attempting to sue the pants off those who liabled the kids and refused to timely recant. Maybe hitting pocketbooks is the only way we have of fighting back against what ironically are hate crimes against the nation itself.
The only hate crime against the nation is the degeneracy of the collective consciousness. The nation's psychology is so malleable and easy to manufacture that any worry about illuminaughty, or deep state is completely unnecessary. The nation would have to lose its superficial prejudices, and its LEFT-RIGHT paradigm in order to have a change at the real crimes against the nation.
That ain't happening any time soon.
